Standard Abrasives Aluminum Oxide Spiral Band is a tensile yet strong abrasive great for light finishing, polishing, blending and deburring on both hard and soft metals.
- Single ply abrasive is flexible and tensile, conforming to flat and contoured surfaces
- Spiral construction helps eliminate shadow marks and chatter
- Aluminum oxide mineral is friable and breaks down to reveal sharp cutting edges for a consistent cut
- Spiral band easily fits over rubber drums
- No tools required for band changes

PRODUCT FAQ
-
What is the purpose of 3M's Standard Abrasives™ A/O Spiral Band 705998?
The Standard Abrasives™ A/O Spiral Band 705998 is designed for metalworking operations that require moderate to heavy stock removal. It features a tough aluminum oxide abrasive grain suitable for deburring, blending and finishing.
-
Can you tell me about the size options available in this product range?
Certainly! The spiral band itself measures 3/4 inch by 1 inch with two different grit levels (80 and 100). However, you can choose between a quantity of either 50 or 100 within each case depending on your needs.
-
How long does the abrasive typically last before it needs replacing?
The life of an abrasive depends on factors like material type, pressure applied while sanding so we cannot give an exact lifespan but these abrasives are made with durable materials designed provide consistent finishes over time. If you have additional questions regarding durability or lifespan we're here to help!
Standard Abrasives™ Aluminum Oxide Spiral Band is the ideal product for polishing and blending flat surfaces and contours. Its spiral shape allows it to smoothly roll over these surfaces. The circular band rotates centrifugally as it's moved around the workpiece, and the abrasive can easily fit inside hard-to-reach areas. Standard Abrasives™ Aluminum Oxide Spiral Band is perfect for removing parting lines, tiny imperfections, and little burrs that could be difficult to remove with a larger abrasive disc or wheel.
Special FeaturesThe spiral construction on Standard Abrasives™ Aluminum Oxide Spiral Band eliminates shadow marks and chatter. Aluminum oxide mineral cuts sharp but is still friable, fragmenting under heat and pressure to reveal sharp cutting edges. This ensures that operators get a consistent cut throughout the life of the abrasive. Available in grades 24 to 320 grit, operators can choose the right grade for their project, depending on how aggressive a scratch is desired. Coarser grades, like 24, are good for heavy stock removal, whereas finer grades, like 320, are good for metal finishing and polishing.
Tips for Optimal UseStandard Abrasives™ Spiral Bands are designed to be used with rubber drums. The single ply or "single thickness" abrasive fits snugly around the drum like a glove. The single ply is a bit more flexible and conformable than 2- or 3-ply thicknesses, making it a good match for contoured surfaces. It is important for both the drum and the abrasive to have the same nominal diameter to prevent skipping and bumping.
The Spiral Band stays in constant contact with the workpiece to swiftly rid the surface of little burrs, rather than deflecting or skidding over the substrate. The maximum allowable RPM for spiral bands is the same as the maximum RPM of the drum, provided the drum and band have the same nominal diameter. Typically, the rubber drum attaches to portable drills, die grinders, straight shaft and angle grinders. The great news is, the drum requires no extra tools for band changes.
ConclusionStandard Abrasives™ Aluminum Oxide Spiral Band is the perfect product for removing contaminants from flat and contoured surfaces. Its spiral shape, friable aluminum oxide mineral, and single ply construction make it a versatile and effective abrasive for a variety of applications.
